An ISO date does not need to contain a time. So how would an ISO only date
be parsed into a Date object and then output as the same date only item?
Right now if you give JS a date, it assumes a time. You need to be able to
pass in a date with no time, have it stored as a date only with no time and
then retrieve it as a date. ToLocaleString for instance on a date only
should produce just a date with no time.
